Systematic Software with Scala & Building Microservices with Mu

Fresh off their appearances at the Northeast Scala Symposium, Oli Makhasoeva and Adam Rosien will be presenting their lightning talks:

Build a microservices API in 15 minutes
By Oli Makhasoeva

This talk introduces Mu, a new FP library for building micro-services APIs. Mu offers code annotations for defining RPC or REST APIs, message types, and serialization formats, thus removing the dependency on protocol-specific declarations and enabling seamless changes between different implementations.

Systematic Software with Scala
By Adam Rosien

Scala is a very flexible language, and this flexibility can make it difficult to know how to effectively design Scala code. In the nearly nine years I've been using Scala, my approach to using the language has coalesced around ten or so strategies, which are similar to OO design patterns but broader in scope and borrow many ideas from functional programming. Using these strategies I can create code in a systematic and repeatable way. In this talk, I will present the majority of my strategies, and illustrate their use by live coding a simple graphics system where the majority of the code is systematically derived by applying strategies. The strategies allow me to work at a higher level of abstraction, and the coding itself becomes formulaic. This means I can get more work done and my code is simpler to read and use. I hope that my strategies will also enable you to design better code in Scala.

Doors open at 6. Talk at 6:30.
